A DIY to virginise or reprogram keys.... Both are very curious, very curious
The mk2 / mk2b are locked down to needing software
Ziggy
Since you have the original ECU with a hardware problem you can copy the software to another ECU so it becomes a clone of the original and the car will start.I am stuck in a car park (i sleep in the car) with 2 ebay ECU's and windows 10, can connect in boot mode but need to know if I am wasting my time.
I read somewhere with a virgin ecu I need the red key??? is this true?
Also does anyone have flash file for 0261 208 029 - Punto 1.2 16v 2004
I have the eeprom bin but could not pull the flash off it..
Just wanted to check the ebay ECU was ok..
Read about Galleto and cable too.
Need to do on the cheap as don't have money in the bank to pay someone and I need the car to get to a job if one comes up..( engineering related )
Do I need to pay for hardware device or software?
umm..
I have the old ecu which failed gradually and a few capacitors had failed..
Anyone have instructions how to pull the eeprom / flash file off the chip using mini connectors and windows..
Attached is the PCB layout..
The original ECU is dead. Nailed to the perch.Since you have the original ECU with a hardware problem you can copy the software to another ECU so it becomes a clone of the original and the car will start.
You dont need the red key which is for an older car.
Virginising ECU | FIAT Punto (Mk2/2b)
I think i have learnt how to do this on my ECU with a fiatecuscan cable and free software. I am sure many people would like to know how to do this on their own car but was wondering what other members feel about the ordinary person having access to this information via this particular forum...www.fiatforum.com
As I said in that post I did not really know what I was doing. I just copied what others had done.
To be clear I did not virginise the working ECU. I used the working ECU to make a clone of the original ECU
